Tis the season for those lovely UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATERS to be dug out from the back of your closet, and to be proudly worn for every one's pleasure. My card today features this annual event with the use of the﻿ Art Impressions Ugly Sweater Stamp set.

After coloring the image with my Copic Sketch Markers, I used a Copic Multiliner to draw the lines on the bells back in, then fussy cut the image and mounted it on the inside of the card with an Action Wobbler. The image is framed with a cut-out made with a Spellbinders die. An older Bo Bunny dp is the card front and inside. The awesome sentiment is included with the image stamp.

Hey fellow crafty friends! Today I have a cute little house mouse for you, who is in the spirt with gifts galore to share. I Coloured this guy with my copics and used several spica glitter pens and a clear gelly roll pen on all of the ribbons. For the snow I first used glamour dust then added art institute faux snow over that.

Have a great day, and don't forget to get crafty and join in on our Christmas challenge for a chance to win 2 wild rose stamps!

Hello there. Thank you for dropping in today to see what I have created for you. It is, of course, following our challenge theme of "CHRISTMAS" this month, a Christmas card using an image and sentiment from High Hopes Stamps. I made it for an American friend who believes that all we say in Canada is "EH?" While I know I may have said it a time or two, it is not something I say continually or is it something I recall hearing all the time. But it is a cute stereotype and works well here.

If you are a regular to my blog, you will know that I adore penguins - big, small, cute and fluffy, just as long as the image is a penguin I will own it!!! So for today's post for One Crazy Stamper I have used my Copic markers to color up this super cute Whimsy Stamps image "Penguin Joy".

After coloring the image I added Red Viva Décor Pearl Pen to the berries, and white Liquid Applique and Snowdust Stickles to add more dimension and shine. The card front features designer paper from Carta Bella's So This is Christmas collection.

Card Recipe -

Greens - G21, G24, G28

Friends welcome back, and as I type this it is snowing lots, weird to be saying this as it is only November, but I live in North Central Alberta, Canada, and it could start snowing early.

So have my hot chocolate and my candles going and I started my Christmas Cards I am making for my co-workers, I have started off with card base, but made a pocket for a gift card to go behind the stamped image. I thought a nice coffee/tea/hot cocoa gift card for those cold days might be what my co-workers would enjoy.

I colored up a winter favorite of mine, I purchased this last year from One Crazy Stamper, it is from Whimsy Stamps-Vintage Christmas, you will notice on some of my cards lately it will be a sentiment from this set or a stamp from it. I really find it versatile.

I used the BZ 6x6 pattern paper pack called Countdown to Christmas and it's coordinating cardstock pack too. I used Xpressit Copic Paper. I also used my dies, ribbon, 3D squares, glue dots Copic Markers are the flowing: R46, RV29, YG95, YG97. I do hope you get a chance to play at the monthly challenge at One Crazy Stamper-Christmas. We love seeing all your creations. Thanks again for stopping! Till next time Happy Crafting!

With the approaching of Christmas also comes the Winter and all the fun sports that are available. Skiing is something that I have never tried, but if I ever get the chance to I think it would definitely be cross country skiing.

For today's post for One Crazy Stamper, I have used this adorable House Mouse stamp called Ski Run by Stampendous. The Snow Tex which I used to make the snow is an awesome product, and I used Lora's suggestion from her post, which was to add some glitter.

For a chance to win a prize pack from Wild Rose Studio, enter this month's Christmas challenge. Remember to make your wish list for Christmas. Lora has new and amazing products arriving daily at her store One Crazy Stamper. Gift certificates are always a good idea.

Hi! I'm back after a little break, thanks for posting for me last Saturday Sue! Today I have a super sweet image by Whimsy called Two Turtledoves, which I coloured with my copics. I used lots of Frantage embossing powders on my dp, and also added a bit of garnet red glitter to it. On the red background dp I used my crop-a-dile to punch holes along the side. I then used scissors and made little snips beside each hole to give it a hole punched lined paper look.

For a chance to win two wild rose stamps join our Christmas challenge this month and you could be the lucky winner! Until next week...keep crafting and have a great day.
